New year, new blog

Good afternoon to you all and may I wish you a Happy New Year!

So, another year has gone by and now I'm left wondering what is in store for this year. To try and make it a better year, I've set myself some new years resolutions, which I actually plan on sticking to this year! My resolutions are as follows:
1) Drink more water - As it stands, in a day I usually have 2-3 cups of tea and a couple of sips of pop from a bottle I keep by the side of my bed. I've known for a long long time that I don't drink enough water, but it's about time I did something about it. I plan on drinking plenty of water during the day at work so I can finally feel a little bit healthier and also so my skin stops looking so horrid.
2) Learn how to cook - This one is a necessary. This one was on my list last year, but unfortunately, I was too lazy to actually take time to see it through. I cannot cook to save my life. I can stretch as far as microwave meals, Supernoodles on the hob and toast. I am useless. As I am soon turning 21, I think it is about time I learnt to look after myself. I may not be master chef this time next year, but hopefully I'll be able use an oven!
3) Spend more time with my parents - I still live with my mom and dad but even so, I feel I don't spend enough time with them. It seems too easy these days to just retreat to my room when I get in from work and only see them briefly during the night. From now on, I'm going to make more of an effort to spend time with them.
4) Start a blog and actually carry it on! - Although this wasn't a resolution last year, I did attempt to start a blog but I never carried on. I think I have started to notice a bit of a pattern of me being a lazy bones! I love reading beauty blogs so I thought maybe I'd have a crack at doing one. Plus, I don't really have a proper hobby other than going to the gym, so hopefully it will be something theraputic I can do at the end of the working day!

So, that is all of my resolutions. I feel quite positive about them at the moment so I'm hoping I can stick to them longer than a week!

I thought I would just do this chatty post to start off as I feel a little worse for wear after all the wine I consumed last night for New Year! Plus, it seemed appropriate as it is the first day of 2013. Keep your eyes peeled; there will be lots of beauty bits to come!
